Don't Think , Just 'Click'

One regret that any photographer has is not clicking the shutter when thought of . Once moment is gone , you might not experience the same again . So let your hesitations and worries pass away when holding your camera . Stop worrying about focusing , technical settings or light and when your heart tells you to click , just 'click' . Capture that moment .

Don't let your brain decide what to be shot . Don't let it get hold of your thought and let your feelings and emotions control your shooting process.

Only 'Click' What Makes Sense To You

One of the biggest things that all professionals miss when they start is this - to be more selective about the scenes that they find interesting . Rather than taking 2 or 3 photos of everything , like 2 or 3 situations and then 'click' the hell out of it .

A beginner is satisfied with a 'good' photo but the master runs behind 'perfection'.

You Dont 'Take' Photo , You 'Make' Photo

There is a very thin line between 'taking a photo' and 'making a photo' . To amateurs it sounds lame but there lies a big difference between these two .

Taking a photo is pretty easy , not so creative act .It sounds aggressive and forceful . Anyone can 'take' a photo but only love for photography can 'make' photo .

Making a photo sounds like a love affair with photography . It sounds like you want to make someone or something even more beautiful .

Thus , a small change in terminology can make a big difference. ​

Photograph Your Fears

For many of us it is hard to make 'good' or 'great' photos . Some people tend to get confuse as what to click and what not to click .

Everyone knows their fear , like , photographing strangers , standing on a high cliff to shoot a perfect landscape or just making a photograph that might not please others .

Just get above it , photograph your fears and 'learn' . Never avoid your fears when it comes to photography as you never know your 'potential greatest photo ever' is behind those fears waiting to be clicked .

Shoot With Your Instincts But When It Comes To Editing , Use Brain

​The best mantra or tip you can get is that when you are out capturing memories , you should shoot from your gut. Overthinking can 'spoil the broth' . Follow your instinct and photograph anything that makes you emotional , excited , serene or just makes you 'yourself' .

Once done clicking photos use your brain and not your instinct to select the photos and later edit them.

X-Factor In Your Frame

When it comes to making great photos , a photo without that 'X-factor' will never catch your viewer's eyes.

X-Factor is that strong subject or element that makes the photo alive , that narrates the story by staying still.

By adding that X-Factor to you photo , you capture viewer's attention as well . So always think of an X-Factor before making a photograph.
